That marketing video on the homepage is... not particularly convincing, and watching it gives me secondhand embarrassment.

[kromem]

You mean you weren't convinced by the argument that if MLK or Lincoln didn't have access to Facebook the world would have been a different place?

Or was it the credentials of "I bought $12 of Bitcoin when I was young and it increased in value" that didn't sell you?

It seems like a slam dunk from over here, so I'm confused as to what you didn't find convincing....

[Wistar]

Wow. With "secondhand embarrassment" you have deftly labeled a feeling I have had so many times in my life but have never been able to succinctly name.

That term even has its own Wikipedia page:

[Semaphor]

It’s a pretty popular German word as well: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fremdsch%C3%A4men

[derevaunseraun]

It's also called 'cringe' in gen Z speak

Does that video... actually have the "Activate Windows" watermark in the thumbnail?

[can16358p]

How did they even manage to put that watermark there in the first place?

Did they just take a screenshot from an unactivated Windows machine?

This whole project is a joke.

[exikyut]

...It does!

I honestly don't know what to do with this information. Is this an intentional message? It's extremely overt.

[kadoban]

I wonder if it's similar to how some phising emails will contain intentional grammar and spelling errors. I've been told that this works as a filter, since savvy people will be put off by such things leaving only the easy targets.

Ha ha, the "PatriApp" store.

Is this guy a Libertechian?
